"Self-assembly and applications of DNA-amphiphiles" Abstract: "Self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules is an attractive method to engineer supramolecular materials for biomedical and other applications. In my group, we focus on the design of DNA-amphiphiles and evaluate how different building blocks of the amphiphiles affect their tendency to self-assemble spontaneously into different nanostructures. In this presentation, I […]
